| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: On lthree different occasions the throttle stuck on my 2007 v6 camry xle. first time with the cruise control on and i could not turn the cc off . car accelerated to 80mph before it settled down .. second time i was merging into traffic and when traffic came to a stop my car kept accelerating ... i avoided rearending the car ahead of me by standing on the brakes while the engine was just racing.. third time .. after stopping at a railroad crossing ... when traffic resumed the car took off again, this time through a school zone .... that was the final straw for me .. toyota says their is no problem with this car or any of the other 2007 i feel the car is unsafe for me and my family along with others on the road.. i asked the selling dealer to trade my 2007 for another 2007 since i like the car, but not this problem ... he did not seem interested and said that toyota would not help me with the depriation of my car. i went to a dealer closer to home and traded my 2007 for a new 2007 .. same model same features .. i complaint is that i owned an unsafe vehicle and i do not believe that i should have to take full depreciation on a car that was unsafe to drive ... toyota denies a problem with the car, but i'm the one at risk driving it ...the second dealer did what he could for me . but i am paying $ 8,000 difference for a car i should have had to start with .... i do not expect to drive a car for one year and 14,000 miles for free, but i also would not have traded if the car was safe .. i am looking for some fair financial rellief from toyota .... or at least make people aware of a serious safety issue with some of their models .. *tr see also 10207133. *dsy |
